Anyone know what Rebellion are working on at the moment? They've made some great games in the past year or two.

Well Rebellion bought Core so they are working on that Free Running game - the name escapes me at the moment. It was a PSP game originally but I think it may be on PS2 now as well.
Rogue Trooper was a bit lame imo. I can't think of any great games they have made in the last year or 2 either. AvP2 was the last good game and that wasn't as good as AvP. But that's just my opinion of course. |

So who is going to open the book on when they are going to go pop! After this string of aquisitions and no released titles?

Yeah - forgot about that Corv1
They have fingers in all sorts of pies - I don't think they are going to go away anytime soon. Bear in mind that they own 2000AD lock stock and barrel. I imagine they mnake money out of studios just optioning IP for movies even if they never get made. Hope they are around for many years to come - sick of seeing brit devs going to the wall.

If I remember right, don't Rebellion have a rather swish motion cap suite in amongst all the stuff they own?
I think, if anything, Rebellion have suffered from a distinct lack of money (or prowess) in the marketing department as both Rogue Trooper and Sniper Elite were decent games that should have sold better than they did. Still, it's hard to forgive them for cocking up the Judge Dredd game so badly. |
